These guys are in QT right now.

RTC is about 2" and the TSN is 2.5" The TSN has shown a lot more of an appetite than the RTC so far. Cant wait to start hand feeding these guys. I'm going to make sure these guys dont develop any gill curl at all costs. Small daily water changes, excellent areation and constant supervision.

I believe the TSN is a Tigrinum, can anyone verify this?

looks to be fasciatum. Only time will tell as the pattern develops. Looks like there are vertical white stripe with the black stripes? Usually a tell-tell sign of fasciatum. Your's has a pattern already at such a small size. Mine newest was solid black almost until he hit 4" now at 7" he is definitely a fasciatum.
